为何要采用抢先体验这种模式？

“sfäre is a very experimental toy. No one really knows what it is and who it will appeal to. I've noticed that the mobile version is pretty chill to use before going to sleep. I'm not sure if this experience can be extended to the PC version or if it could go down a different alley entirely. I would like to find out.

I have started going down the experimental road for desktop by integrating an editor that exposes parameters directly. It is a lot more complex and complicated to use, but has far less limitations than the playful main mode. The editor is incomplete and will be finished during Early Access.

I want to make sfäre as accessible as possible, for that I will need to determine what controls are even used and how they are used. I have made some experimental controls to work with gamepad or only keyboard, but I believe I can do better.

Early Access is also important to me, as I want to find out if anyone is interesting in what I have created and if it is worth investing a lot more time.”

这款游戏的抢先体验状态大约持续多久？

“I'm estimating it will be about one year of Early Access. That being said, as long as there is progress being made during Early Access I don't see any reason to rush release.”

计划中的完整版本和抢先体验版本到底有多少不同？

“The play mode of sfäre is fully functional, depending on feedback I will of course make improvements and fixes if required.

I'm working on a complex editor that exposes a large variety of parameters. I want to focus on usability/user experience and user feedback is critical.
If players have interesting ideas, I am quickly convinced to experiment.

I've already received some streamer feedback and many seem to think sfäre would be a very suitable tool for them to use between streams and still interact with their users.

specific things I want to add

General:
- Localizations

Editor:
- better control over fractal generation
- I have an idea to integrate painting, to add more control over dot size
- mooore parameters, shapes & cool ideas

Audio:
- custom playlists
- if Unity fixes a bug, stream Audio through sfäre

For Streamers
- custom logo & image placement
- twitch API integration to react to user input (I'm open to ideas)
- open to any suggestions”

抢先体验版本的现状如何？

“I could release sfäre as it is now as a completed toy. It also works great on auto-play.
The editor is still in an alpha stage with some questionable parameter names/descriptions.
I have not added twitch integration, might manage to get something alpha going before release.”

在抢先体验期间和结束之后，游戏价格会有所不同吗？

“Currently no change is planned.”

在开发过程中，你们是如何计划让玩家社区参与进来的？

“I'm always open to feedback and suggestions. Anyone who wants to get involved will be listened to. The more feedback I get, the more enthusiastic I will be to develop additions and improvements. I have a Discord channel where I am frequently available and happy to chat about development.

sfäre is a big experiment, I want as many people as possible to take part.”
